old chairs

You know, when I chose this topic, I was first thinking about old beat up chairs given a whimsical second life. The kind of projects that have you making a dive for the vehicle because you just caught junk fever.


Kinda like this one from Hoosier Homemade. I love this rustic front porch display!


And how about this charming rustic wonder by Flat Creek Farm? Don't you love how the weathered wood against the burlap and succulents give this a very neutral palette? Totally droolworthy!


 And then there's the moss/sweet flower garden variety, like Going A Little Coastal's plant chair.  What a fun pop of extra colour the chair gives off!


And then there's the variation where old chairs really don't look old any longer at all. One of my favorite chair makeovers is Miss Mustard Seed's dining room chairs. I love the tone, distressing and of course those to die for one of a kind grain sack skirted chair pads.


Check out these ooooo lah lah lines on this pretty little thing by Going A Little Coastal.  Gorgeous! I am LOVING the antique white with the glaze.


Another chair trend I'm really enjoying are the skirted slipcovers, like this sweet variation from My Repurposed Life.  The dark woodwork really pops against the light slipcover, which can provide a nice anchoring effect.


(Thank-you to the gals that sent me their links via Facebook!)

As you can see, the sky's the limit where old chairs are concerned. Have you worked on an old chair project you're particularly proud of?

 ~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, cut and paste that url)

2. Please put a link in your post that leads back to the party so others can see what's up! (scroll button on sidebar if you wish)

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style (unless making the item is self explanatory).

5. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and within 1 month old. The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!
